DTG consults on innovation and interoperability in UK DTT
Monday, July 5th, 2010LONDON — The Digital TV Group (DTG), the independent industry body responsible for the technical development of UK digital terrestrial television (DTT), has launched a consultation on interoperability and innovation on the DTT platform.
The consultation, Delivering an interoperable, efficient, stable and innovating horizontal digital TV market, is open to any organisation or individual with an interest in digital terrestrial television in the UK.
Commenting on the consultation, Richard Lindsay Davies, Director General of the DTG, said:
“For over a decade the DTG has played a pivotal role in the success of the Freeview platform. Last year we published the 6th edition of the D-Book, the technical specification for UK DTT, paving the way for the launch of high definition services on the platform. Later this year we will publish the 7th edition of the specification, making hybrid Connected TV devices a reality for viewers.
“Against this backdrop of continuous technical development, we believe that it falls to the DTG, as the only independent and fully representative organisation in our sector, to ensure that the horizontal market continues to exist in an environment where innovation can thrive and where the consumer is safeguarded. This consultation will play a key role in ensuring the Group is able to produce a roadmap for the ongoing interoperability, stability and technical development of the platform.”
The consultation is now open and will close on Monday 20 September.
